Reader update - pally - 09-25-2022
Unfortunately not much news from Zac's presser. He'll probably be getting an MRI when they get back to Cincinnati
Zac on Reader: Hopefully better than not. Will know more later.

Readers become Leaders. Reader has the Captain C. Learned that in Elementary School and it was correct!
RE: Reader update - Sled21 - 09-25-2022
I suspect they pulled him just to be cautionary until he gets a scan. He was walking around on it.
RE: Reader update - Clark W Griswold - 09-25-2022
Hopefully nothing major. Sucks that they play again Thursday so he won’t have much time to get treatment and rest it (if it is not that serious like we hope)
RE: Reader update - Housh - 09-25-2022
I think Reader is so important id bet we have trouble making playoffs without him.
He’s a one man army against the run

The most likely diagnosis is a sprained MCL. They would have stabilized a potential ACL. A sprained MCL can be walked on. It just hurts with some instability depending on the degree. This could be an injury he can play with on Thursday with the following 10 days off or he could be out 6 weeks.
But this is what DJ said
DJ Reader said he is very encouraged that the knee injury isn't more severe.

He said he didn't return to the sideline in the second because they wanted him to stay off it. They put the game on in the locker room and he kicked back and took in the win that way.
Just asked DJ Reader if he’s going to be able to play on Thursday, his response: “We’ll see.”

I’d still hope they grab an extra body off the waiver wire, especially given the short week.

The short week makes it less likely we grab someone off the waiver wire. Look for Shelvin to get elevated

This is the truth. They were gashing the run after he left. Tupou is solid, but nobody is Reader. Too bad Tyler Shelvin didn't pan out...we could have really used him now.

If Reader is out I wonder if Hubbard moves inside some and Ossai gets more snaps. Sam is easily the 2nd best defender against the run on the team.
RE: Reader update - Bengalfan4life27c - 09-25-2022
He walked off which is a positive, Then he got ruled out quickly which was a negative.

Nah, not really, with the score, and the time left. No reason to keep him in the game and risk anything else. That’s a big man putting a lot of pressure and weight on a weakened knee. Park it and start resting up big boi, they got it from here!

He wouldn't be ready to play by Thursday. A Shelvin game day elevation is the most likely scenario if they need another body
RE: Reader update - THE PISTONS - 09-25-2022
Reader is an elite run stopping DT. If that was valued as much as sacks...he'd be HOF caliber.
He's the G Atkins of run stopping.

Probably. He’s serviceable, especially as a stop-gap.

Hubbard sets the edge against the run. I wouldn't want him inside on run downs.
RE: Reader update - bengalfan74 - 09-25-2022
Fingers crossed he's ok
RE: Reader update - TheLeonardLeap - 09-25-2022
Need him to get healthy and get back in the lineup quick. DT takes a real hit without him there.
